Syscoin Update — 20 May 2018As of today, the SYSCOIN Community will provide weekly updates about Syscoin technology, new features, marketing, and upcoming events!
These updates will contain information about news, updates, and if applicable, new releases. This update will be a bit longer than the upcoming ones, since it is the first one and we would like to share some things in more detail (among others topics about marketing). We aim to write the upcoming updates in such a way that you will be able to read them within 3 to 5 minutes.

• Important Notifications
• General Updates & Info
• Marketing & Communication
• Technical Updates & Info
• Masternodes
• Feedback
Sometimes, additional topics are added if relevant and necessary (e.g. new releases). If you have any good ideas, please feel free to share them with us in our Slack Channel “Community Marketing”. Enjoy reading from now!

Mandatory upgrade: SYSCOIN 2.0 to SYSCOIN 3.0General
2.0 chain was copied on May 2nd and started on the 3.0 chain. So the 3.0 chain retains all information from the 2.0 chain as of May 2nd.
If balance/aliases on May 2nd, they will be available on the 3.0 chain. You just need to upgrade to the 3.0 chain with SYSCOIN QT 3.0.4
Any events on Blockmarket 1.2.X or QT 2.1.X after May 2nd are not valid.
Poloniex
If you had coins on Poloniex, you are fine. Buying and selling on Poloniex while the deposits and withdrawals are paused is okay because their SYS tokens are represented internally on a database. Once they resume trading and withdrawals and deposits resume, they will be redistributed on the 3.0 chain.
Yobit
Yobit did not upgrade or pause deposits and withdrawals, and are therefore responsible for any trades, withdrawals or deposits taking place on their platform after May 2nd.
Exchanges who upgraded from SYSCOIN 2.0 to SYSCOIN 3.0 at the date of this update being published:
Bittrex
Livecoin
Flyp.me
Coinomi (still in Beta-new release coming)
Binance
Sistemkoin
Vebitcoin
Bittylicious

Checking masternodes
You can check your nodes with your server console on your server (e.g. Putty). Uptime of your master node can be checked by inserting this line into you server console (e.g. Putty):
syscoin-cli masternodelist active seconds | grep your IP
Number of master nodes running is found by inserting this line into your server console (e.g. Putty):
syscoin-ci masternode count
